On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Mitch Landrieu stated that in order for 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump “to be President of the United States, he has to destroy democracy.”
Landrieu said, “Yesterday a very sacrosanct principle that is necessary to sustain democracies was upheld, which is very simple, in America, that everybody is subject to the rule of law and nobody is exempt from it, not even somebody who was President in the United States. And yesterday was a very sober and somber day for our country. It’s not good for anybody that we have an ex-President that is now a convicted felon. However, it is really important for us, in order to maintain our democracies, to make sure that we are, in fact, a rule of law, and not the opposite, which is a rule of the mob. It is a fact now that Donald Trump is a convicted felon. It’s also a fact that he’s been held civilly liable for defamation, sexual abuse, and business fraud. It is a fact that, in order for him to be President of the United States, he has to destroy democracy. And nothing that happened yesterday is going to change the fact that only the American people on Election Day can stop him from becoming President again.”

Yeah nothing says saving democracy like throwing your political opponent in prison..just like in Russia, no wonder the left loves Putin so much
It wasn’t a democracy 250 years ago, it isn’t a “democracy” now, and it wasn’t a “democracy” any time in between.
After Trump becomes president and directs his justice department to start pressing charges against everyone involved in this, every single one of these Democrats will be singing a different tune!
The US is not now, nor ever was, a Democracy.
I used to listen to a lot of shortwave radio when I was in high school and college and it’s amazing how this, and so many pronouncements from our Democrats, sound like what I heard when tuning in to Moscow or Peking or Havana. They were all about democracy too. I didn’t buy it then and I don’t buy it now. One difference I do notice is our Democrats are much more Orwellian than the old commies were in their use of language. Progressives gotta make progress, I guess.
You don’t have to sell me, I’m voting for the guy already. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
Democracy = Communism from these punks.
That’s their fear....that Trump destroys their plan.
Wow the Marxist dems just can’t stop
I think democracy was destroyed by our Founders, who created a Republic instead.
Biden has a few crimes and more... That will be on the radar.. Once the gop wakes up.
If he thinks he is OK.. Think again.
They are pushing this narrative because it reaches those who still rely on the MSM for news. That’s mostly what they hear.
Every time a liberal d bag says “democracy” correct him by saying you mean oligarchy
No, it’s the Ratocracy that would be destroyed
My beliefs are that a corrupt, senile, mediocre old man who showered with his teenage daughter is far more of a threat to democracy than someone who may boast a bit, but by contrast had a very successful presidency.
I'm sure that's EXACTLY what he said when "lock her up" was popular.
No conceivable Senate will confirm any AG who is not deep state.
Says the brain damage toddler in adult size who represents the party doing everything it can to destroy “democracy”.
Among the many horrible things that happened while this turd was in office, turning the USA into a banana republic by going after his political enemies with lawfare will be his most remembered infamous legacy.
Biden to Trump supporters: If you don't vote for me, you're not American.
Blacks and other Americans to Biden: If we don't vote for you, you're not the President.

Trump isn’t the one using lawfare to harass political opponents.
